Addison makes exercise a group activity. Not only does she take workout classes with pals, but during the pandemic, she virtually exercised with pal and He’s All That co-star Kourtney Kardashian.

3. She Focuses on Her Backside

Addison does a lot of glute work. "I've done this butt workout so many times because it literally burns so bad but it's so good,” she told Kourtney during their workout video. In it, she does donkey kicks, fire hydrants and fire hydrant extensions on each leg for two circuits.

4. She Has an Active Lifestyle

Addison always seems to be out and about engaged in physical activity. Skateboarding, surfing, kayaking, kickboxing, and hiking are just a few of the other ways she stays fit.

Another one of Addison’s favorite workouts? Pilates. The 21-year-old has been snapped leaving the low impact exercise classes more than once.

From TikTok influencer to Hollywood actress (He’s All That), Addison Rae, newly 21, is the ultimate crossover. She’s proven as much by also launching her own beauty company. That’s not to say she doesn’t take some downtime. This weekend, Addison posted some photos from the beach, including some friends doing yoga and another of her in a bathing suit with lizard, beetle, berry, grape and kiwi emojis as the caption.

1. She Has This to Say About the “Ideal Body”

Rae told Glamour UK that she deals with "online hate and social media drama.” "It's a really hard thing to deal with when you're a girl, especially going through your teens," she explained. "I am 20 and my body is constantly changing, but people have this high standard around body image and say, 'Oh, you have to look like this to look great or to look hot or to be cool or to be pretty.'" "For me, a lot of people have said, 'Oh I love how comfortable she is and she doesn't look like the beauty standard.' It's a backhanded compliment sometimes because people will be like, 'I'm so glad she's confident that she doesn't look perfect,'" she continued in the interview. "It hurts sometimes when people say that, because I think everyone's perfect, so why is there some standard of 'this body is the ideal body'?"

2. She Has Worked Out at the Dogpound

Celebs like Vanessa Hudgens and Bella Hadid workout at the LA and NYC fitness center the Dogpound, and so does Rae. She’s been seen going there in a green sweatsuit, and has done morning workouts at the LA location. Consider interval training. “Interval training is simply alternating short bursts (about 30 seconds) of intense activity with longer intervals (about 1 to 2 minutes) of less intense activity,” says the Mayo Clinic. “For instance, if your exercise is walking and you're in good shape, you might add short bursts of jogging into your regular brisk walks. If you're less fit, you might alternate leisurely walking with periods of faster walking. For example, if you're walking outdoors, you could walk faster between certain mailboxes, trees or other landmarks.”

3. She Loves Herself for Who She Is

“People see people's successes sometimes and wish it was them, which is totally understandable. I've even been there in my life, too, where I'm like, ‘I wish I had this or I wish I had what she had,’” she said. “There's going to be people that don't like you and that want to tear you down, but you have to love yourself for who you are,” she told Glamour.

4. She Does This Every Morning

“Every morning, I play music after I wake up. And I usually go to sleep with music. At night I’ll listen to softer music, like Pink Sweats or Frank Ocean, because it’s really relaxing. In the morning, I’ll change it to something more upbeat. The Echo makes it easy because you can talk to it to change the song or whatever. It’s also pretty much my weatherman. While it’s mostly beautiful all the time in L.A., lately it’s been rainy and cloudy, and my Echo tells me that before I leave the house,” she told NY Mag’s the Strategist.

5. She Uses This to Make Her Skin Glow

"Oh my gosh. The Jason Maximum Strength Vitamin E Skin Oil ($10). I literally just put that on my skin—on top of anything—and it makes my skin look glowy. It’s another step with my moisturizer. I apply my moisturizer and then add the vitamin E oil to give it that glow. I really love it,” she told Byrdie.

Social media superstar Addison Rae is wishing her pal Kourtney Kardashian a happy birthday.

1. Treadmill Sessions

Rae likes to work up a sweat on the treadmill. "While treadmills may seem boring, they can offer a good alternative for exercise, depending on how you use them," says Dr. Adam Tenforde, with the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Harvard-affiliated Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital. "There is so much more to treadmills than just 'push the button and start walking.'"

2. Light Weights, High Reps

Rae’s workouts include light weights with plenty of reps. “More repetitions with lighter weights can build muscle as well as heavier weights -- assuming they are done to the point of exercise-induced fatigue,” according to Hospital For Special Surgery. “And fatigue is the important point. That means even with light weight, the last two to three reps should be hard.”

3. The Power Of Positivity

Rae focuses on positivity, which can help lower stress. “One thing about me that surprises people is that I am just as happy as I am in the pictures,” she says. “I try to always be positive, and people think that's not real. No matter what situation I've been in my entire life, good or bad, I've always [known] that things pass and get better.”

4. Embracing Her Physique

Rae has learned to embrace her figure. “I feel really comfortable with myself and my body now, but that’s obviously something I’ve had to work on and learn how to do,” she says. “Because it’s really hard to love the things about yourself that maybe people don’t want you to love.”

5. Mental Health Support

Rae protects her mental health by focusing on self love. “No matter who you are or what you do, there’s going to be negativity,” she says. “Social media can be toxic, and dealing with it is definitely an uphill battle. The comments can be so cruel, and it really throws me off that people even feel the need to say the things they do. I think if everyone just learnt to love themselves, they’d have less to say about other people.”

Addison Rae took requests from her followers, asking them what photos she should post on her Instagram story. One fan requested “vacation pics.” Rae answered the request by posting a photo of herself in a blue bathing suit, while enjoying a frozen treat.

1. Her Workouts Are Hardcore

Addison takes her workouts very seriously. She is one of the many celebs who pumps iron at The Dogpound, where she goes hard. The gym recently shared a video of one of her sessions, showing her in perfect form as she executes battle ropes, cable glute kickbacks, jumping jack slams and ankle weight kickbacks like a pro.

2. She Works Out with Pals

Addison likes making exercise a group activity. In addition to hitting the gym with pals, during the pandemic, she trained virtually with pal and co-star Kourtney Kardashian.

3. Her Glutes Are a Big Focus

Addison focuses a lot of her workout energy on her backside. "I've done this butt workout so many times because it literally burns so bad but it's so good,” she told Kourtney during their workout video. Donkey kicks, fire hydrants and fire hydrant extensions on each leg for two circuits were part of her routine.

4. She Has an Active Lifesyle

Addison stays active even when she isn’t formally working out. Skateboarding, surfing, kayaking, kickboxing, and hiking are just a few of the activities she regularly partakes in.

5. She Dances

Seeing as though she is a TikTok star, Addison burns a lot of calories and keeps her heartrate up by dancing. "During aerobic activity, you repeatedly move large muscles in your arms, legs and hips. You'll notice your body's responses quickly," says the Mayo Clinic. "You'll breathe faster and more deeply. This maximizes the amount of oxygen in your blood. Your heart will beat faster, which increases blood flow to your muscles and back to your lungs. Your small blood vessels (capillaries) will widen to deliver more oxygen to your muscles and carry away waste products, such as carbon dioxide and lactic acid. Your body will even release endorphins, natural painkillers that promote an increased sense of well-being."
